      No. He's a horse for a course. Only 2 wins have been at Churchill. Got beat like 15 lengths by this Epicenter on another dirt track. That's why he was 80-1. They started avoiding dirt tracks. Ran him on all weather surfaces (synthetic.) They knew he had a chance on Churchill dirt. Threw everybody off by avoiding dirt.

      No tuve oportunidad de saber que iba a participar un jinete venezolano en el Derby de Kentucky; sabía que whaite Abarrio , tiene que ver con propietarios de Venezuela y analice su campaña y me gustaba junto con Epicenter para ganar el clásico; pero Rick strike con sonny león mostró que corre bien en distancias largas, y veo que puede seguir avanzando para conquistar la triple corona; el jinete lo conoce y es buen caballo. Dios bendijo la constancia y sacrificios de sonny león , es un hombre de fe cristiana. Que sigan las victorias.

    What I appreciated about this jockey was that he didn't beat his horse to death. He did carry and lightly use a crop, but I didn't feel that the horse was abused just to get across the finish line first. A little urging was used, but reasonable. Really good ride on a really good horse! Wow!

    Single A Minor League. He easily won (by a lot) last September on this track. That race was still thought to be not good enough to compete with these. Ignoring horses for courses will get you cut. I didn't even look at the horse, because he hadn't run any races that would be fast enough. He hadn't had a chance to compete against them at this 1 1/4 distance, though. He looked like Zenyatta at the Breeders Cup (at Santa Anita.) This horse was looking right at the leaders.
